Drive In to the Movies!
On Friday, Nov. 6, MLWGS and the PTSA will host a Drive-In Movie Night in the student parking lot. In response to student surveys, we are offering a double feature: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at 5:30 p.m. and Knives Out at 8 p.m.
Tickets are free and available to all students and faculty/staff through a Constant Contact link posted to Schoology class pages. Please sign up for one ticket per carload and be 100% sure you plan to attend. A DJ will provide music prior to both showings, pre-wrapped goodie bags will be distributed, and the Dragon’s Lair will have an outdoor booth for school swag purchases.
Tickets will be checked upon entering the student lot from Lombardy St. Security will then direct each car to a space. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the showing. Restrooms and hand-washing stations will be available. At all times, masks must be worn while outside a vehicle, and proper social distancing must be maintained.
For more information, please contact Mr. Smith.
Chalk Day and Yoga have been rescheduled to Friday, Nov. 13. Refer to Powerschool blast or Schoology class pages to sign up for the new date.
Summer Residential Governor's School Programs
Applications are now available for the 2021 Summer Residential Governor’s Schools. All sophomores and juniors are eligible. These programs provide opportunities for gifted students to explore professional and university environments through mentorships and academic enrichment. Information and applications can be found here.
Academic Programs are offered in humanities, mathematics, science and technology, agriculture, life sciences and medicine, engineering (NASA – must be 16 by June 18, 2021, and a U.S. citizen), and marine science.
MLWGS can send a total of two nominees for this entire area, with a third slot for the School for Agriculture. Students should submit applications to Joy Cobb in the counseling department by Jan. 22, 2021. This allows time for our school selection committee to choose which students to nominate, and in turn to solicit teacher recommendations for these nominees.
Governor’s Foreign Language Academies include full-immersion academies in French, Spanish, and German; partial immersion in Japanese; and Latin Academy.
Each academy allows one nominee from our school. Our foreign language department determines which students are nominated. If interested, please contact your language teacher. The deadline for completed application forms and supporting materials to Ms. Cobb is Jan. 19, 2021.
Visual and Performing Arts Program offers these areas of study: dance, theatre, visual art, instrumental music, vocal music.
MLWGS can send a total of five nominees for this program, one per area of study. Interested students should talk directly with their fine arts teacher so that we have time to submit the Applicant Report for Site Adjudication form by Dec. 1, 2020. The final application is due Feb. 19, 2021.
